Wilhelm Teuwen
Wilhelm Teuwen (1908–1967) was a German artist best known for his stained glass work.[1]
Teuwen was born on 16 August 1908 in Anrath and since 1923 studied at the art school in Krefeld. After graduation in 1929, he enrolled to Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He studied there with Heinrich Campendonk and Heinrich Nauen, graduating in 1934. In Krefeld, he also met Johan Thorn Prikker, one of the pioneers of the modern stain glass, and this had an important influence on the style of Teuwen's art.[1]
In the end of the 1920s, the main medium used by Teuwen was woodcut, and he made prints in the style of German expressionism, but then he moved to stained glass.[1]
